Halloween 2006

Halloween was very uneventful. As we do every year, my husband and I went to my parent's house so my husband can do his yearly chore of handing out candy so my parents don't have to. My mom had bought full size candy this year, so I figured the word would get out and her house was going to be hit by every kid around. At least, that's what happened when I was a kid.

I think there were about 10 kids, if that. Which left my mom with about 50 candy bars. She gave us the unopened box of candy bars and told my husband to hide them from me. Last night I left them on the counter in the kitchen. This morning, they were mysteriously missing. I think that's very unfair.

One kid did wise up to the full size candy bar house -- she apparently made two trips, which my husband didn't tell me about until we were in the car.

When we were leaving the neighborhood, I saw what I thought was a lady sitting on her porch, as if she was waiting for kids to show up. I told my husband he should of sat on the porch like she was. He then told me that was the girl that came to my parent's house twice. When did kids stop looking like kids and start looking like slobby adults?

Then we spotted a huge group of older kids crossing the street. One kid was trailing the group because he was dressed as a very large marshmallow. On second glance, he was not a marshmallow -- he was dressed in a white shirt and just happened to weight about 300 lbs. At least he was getting his exercise for the month.

Halloween 2007 will be much better because Zit will be around and dressed in a cute shark costume my friend M pointed out to me. And I won't be so tired that I can't hunt for the Halloween candy my husband hides from me.
